ARTHUR BAGGALEY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

VENTILATOR.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ARTHUR BAGGALEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1 1635 Yale avenue, in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ventilators, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates particularly to that class of ventilators used on railroad cars which are located on the main roof of the car along side the part of the roof known as the deck.

The object of my invention is to construct a ventilator of sheet metal adapted to be affixed on the roof of a railroad car, particularly on sleeping` cars which will automatically ventilate the berths as well as the rest of the interior of the car-by suction, and that will prevent the entrance into the car through the ventilator of dust and cinders.

The manner in which I accomplish my object is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of my device in position on the car, part of the roof being broken away.l Fig. 2 is a side elevation, the roof of the car being shown partly in section on the line 2 2 Fig. 1. Fig. 3 isv a vertical sectional view on the line 3 3 Fig. 1. Fig. 4is a vertical cross sectional view on the line 4 4 Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a detail face view of an adjustable register. Fig. 6 is a top plan view similar to Fig. 1. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view on the line 7 7 Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a vertical section on the line 8 8 Fig. 6. Figs. 9 and 10 are detail views of the c'ap.

In the drawings A designates that part of the car called the lower deck, A1 indicates the upper deck, A2 the ceiling under the lower deck and A3 the vertical interior panel of the upper deck. `A'liixed on the lower deck A and against the vertical side of the deck A1 is the main body B of my ventilator. This is made of sheet metal with 'flanges B1 and B2. The body B and 'flange B1 is curved to it the shape of the deck A and the iiange B2 is adapted to ht the side of the deck A1. The contour of the body B is curved from the longitudinal flange on the deck A upwards to the side of the deck A1, and from the end flanges.

towards the central part of the body. The length of the body B is adapted to cover ventilating tubes in the deck adapted to ventilate two contiguous berths, and the height is Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 371,019.

adapted to cover the ltwo tubes extending through the side of the deck A1 hereinafter described. In the top of the main body B is an aperture B3. Around the aperture B3 is a cylindrical ring C having a ange C1 adapted in shape to lit the curvature of the body B to which it is secured by the rivets.C2. Supported on this ring C is my improved ventilator described in my application for Letters Patent filed Feb. 23rd 1907, Serial No. 358,902, consisting of a cylindrical cap D adapted to it friction tight on the ring C and having apertures D1, a pair of deecting plates D2 affixed to the cap D, a cylindrical ring D3 aiiixed to said plates and a cover D4 affixed to the top of said ring, the ends D5 of p said deiiecting plates being spaced from each other, the openings DG between said ends being at right angles to the length of thebody B and to the length of the roof of the car. This part of my present invention is shown in detail in Figs. 9 and 10.

In the vertical exterior of the deck A1 covered by the body B are two apertures E. In the interior vertical panel A3 of thedeck A1 are two corresponding apertures E1. Extending through the apertures E are tubes E2, and through the apertures E1 extend tubes E3. The tubes E3 are conical and telescope into the tubes E2 the exterior ends of the tubes E2 are flanged and nailed to the outside of the deck A1, and the tubes E3 are flanged at E1. Over the end E4 of each of these tubes is a register E5 secured to the panel A3. Each of these registers are adapted to be opened and closed by a partial turn of the thumb piece E3. In the deck A and ceiling A2 are two apertures F and F1. In each of the apertures F is a sheet metal iianged ring F2 and in each of the apertures F1 a conical tube F3 adapted to telescope into the ring F2 in the aperture F. The tubes F3 are flanged at F1 and covered by registers F5 which are secured to the ceilingA2 and are adapted to be opened and closed by a partial turn of the thumb piece F3. The apertures F and F1 are spaced from each other longitudinally so that the registers F5 will not touch the partition G which separates the berths indicated by G1.

In Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 the main body B is represented of sufficient width t'o accommodate the full cap D. In Figs. 6, '7, and 8 the main body B is narrowed to about one half the width, the cap D being a half circle as shown in the plan View Fig. 6 and in cross section in Fig. 8. In this form the ring C has a straight vertical part C3 as shown in Fig. 8, and the cap D has a straight part D7 as shown in Fig. 8 to correspond with and it the part C3 of the ring C. To accommodate the tubes E2 to the reduced height of the main body B, the apertures E and end ofthe tubes therein are oval as shown in Fig. 7 and the ends of the tubes F3 in the ceiling A2 are slightly changed in form as shown at F7 Fig. S. These modiiications in form from that shown in Figs. l, 2, 3, and 4 effect no change in the principle of my invention or in its operation and are shown to illustrate the adaptability of my invention to occupy a minimum Width and height on the roof of a car Whenever the space may require such reduction in size.

I/Vhat I claimand desire to secure by Letters Patent is l. In combination with the roof of a car; of the main body of the ventilator, said body being secured to said roof and having anA aperture; the cylindrical ring vertically secured on said main body coincident With said aperture; the cap supported on said ring; the tubes extending vertically and horizontally from the interior of said car through said roof into the interior of said main body; and the registers covering the interior ends of said tubes as described.

2. In combination With the roof of a car and With the main body of the ventilator ailixed thereon, said body having an aperture in the top; of a cylindrical ring vertically secured on said body and forming an air duct thereon; said cylindrical ring being ada ted to support a cap; the cap adapted to sip over said ring and to be supported thereon; the tubes extending vertically and horizontally through said roof and forming air ducts connecting the interior of the car and interior of said main body; and means Within the car adapted to be moved and to thereby regulate the passage of air from thc car into said main body, as described.

3. In combination with the roof of a car and main body of the ventilator a'flixed thereon7 said body having a vertical air duct; of a cap supported on said air duct, said cap consisting of a cylindrical part adapted to slip over saidair duct, a plurality of deflecting plates, a ring and a cover, said parts being affixed together; the tubes extending vertically and horizontally through said roof forming air ducts from the interior of the car to the interior of said main body; and means operative Within the car adapted to open and c ose said air ducts as described.
